Understanding Hirevire's AI Review Process: Video Analysis and Beyond

Hirevire's AI Reviews feature provides intelligent insights into candidate video and audio responses, helping you quickly identify top matches without watching every submission. By analyzing transcripts against your custom evaluation criteria, AI Reviews augment your judgment with actionable summaries while keeping you in control of hiring decisions.

How AI Reviews Work

AI Reviews analyze video and audio response transcripts based on a custom prompt you provide. You describe your ideal candidate profile in up to 200 characters, and the AI evaluates each response against those criteria.

For each reviewed response, you'll see:

• Match Status: A green checkmark indicating "AI Match" or a non-match indicator

• Key Insights: Bullet points highlighting relevant skills or experiences mentioned by the candidate

• Reasoning: Hover over the insights to view the AI's detailed reasoning

Key Focus Areas

When analyzing video and audio responses, the AI evaluates:

• Keyword Identification: Detects relevant skills, experiences, and qualifications mentioned in responses

• Answer Completeness: Assesses whether candidates fully address the question based on your criteria

• Clarity and Conciseness: Evaluates how clearly candidates communicate their thoughts

How to Enable and Trigger AI Reviews

2. Select AI Review from the left navigation

3. Toggle on Automatically review applications

Understanding AI Review Results

After reviewing a candidate, you'll see the AI insights directly on their video or audio response:

The AI Match indicator appears next to the question, with specific insights listed as bullet points. Hover over these insights to see the AI's detailed reasoning for why a candidate matches or doesn't match your criteria.

Current Limitations

AI Reviews currently focus on transcript analysis only. The system does not yet evaluate:

• Audio Quality: Tone, enthusiasm, or speaking pace are not analyzed

• Visual Elements: Body language, presentation, or video quality are not considered

• Other Question Types: Text responses, uploaded documents, or file uploads are not included in AI analysis

Future Expansion Areas

We're actively expanding AI capabilities to cover all application components:

• Detailed Question Scoring: Individual scores for each question based on standard assessment rubrics, replacing the current match/non-match status with granular evaluation

• Text-Based Question Responses: Analysis of written answers to standard text questions

• Uploaded Documents: Review of resumes, portfolios, and other candidate-submitted files

These enhancements will provide a comprehensive AI-powered review across your entire screening process while maintaining the flexibility to use AI where it adds the most value.
